The room was very old-fashioned as a floor... - Review of Grand Hyatt Cannes Hotel Martinez

We've been in Martinez in October with two kids. Main impression: great concierge service - because we needed lot of places where to go with kids. And all the staff are great - very friendly and efficient. Very good meal - for breakfast and dinners equally but the in the mornings the restaurant was overcrowded. The room was very old-fashioned as a floor corridor. Good place for couple to stay but for family we will look for smthng else.

Stayed here for a conference and was very disappointed. We were given a smallish room at the back of the hotel...and as no upgrade was available, were rewarded with a bottle of Champagne - pleasant surprise. Everything fell apart from there. The wash basin had no hot water and the bath water was lukewarm. An engineer arrived but could not fix the problem without working on it for half-an hour. We were on our way out and left it as it was but on our return made a further request for hot water. Nothing changed and we went to bed only to have the toilet flushing through all night. The following day we called reception and informed the maid but returned later to find nothing had been done. Eventually went to reception and requested hot water, a non-flushing toilet and heating. Returning later in the day we had hot water, a non-flushing toilet but no heating.The carpet in the room appeared to have some white spillage beside the bed and the lights are on low voltage...so dark for some time before you could see anything - if you could locate the light switches. There was no bidet in the bathroom, the plastic toilet seat was yellowing and the room was cold with the marble flooring. The rooms are definitely faded and need renovation and on our last day we were treated to builders in the dusty corridor mixing concrete and smashing plaster off doorways. Comparing our experience to other conference-goers, we discovered that we weren't the only ones with problems of heating and hot water...and general run-down experience.We were eating at the conference dining room and the food was very good. The hotel was cold in the main corridors. I would not choose this hotel if not on a conference visit.

We reserved a suite and were upgraded to a super suite with two rooms and two bath rooms completely refurbished in the best possible art deco fashion. The service was impeccable and the location of the hotel makes it perfect. We will go back every time we are in Cannes.

We have been to Cannes many times and had always wondered what it was really like to stay at the Martinez, especially as we have dined there before, and had some lovely evenings in the Z Plage bar. The reviews on here are very mixed so its always worth reserving opinion until you stay yourself. The location, and the service at this hotel are perfect. The staff are courteous, friendly and efficient. The room service was prompt and the food of a good standard. Of course this is the Martinez and Cannes so you can expect to pay a hefty price for food drink and mini bar. Although our room was clean and of a reasonable size, the fixtures and fittings are in dire need of replacing as is the decor. (The ceiling, wallpaper and carpet were stained from what looked like a plumbing accident or leak) It really was like going back to the 70's! Despite the decor which I am informed will be renovated in time, I really think the hotel has no excuse not to add a few more 5 star touches to the room, like a Nespresso machine, ipod doc, better model of TV.with more English channels (not even BBC world!).the toiletries in bathroom were really poor quality too. The turn down service included a small bottle of still water each, in a plastic bottle! The balcony we had overlooked the side of the building although we could see the sea. There is an issue with noise in this hotel, which is the very close by railway, the trains, even with the balcony door closed, are very audible from early morning till night, so a rear facing room must be a nightmare. The bed was comfortable although consisted of a duvet not inside a proper cover but between two sheets which managed to work itself apart every night. Bottom line, would we stay again, yes probably, but in a renovated room.

Room Tip: Front facing or side room which has been renovated!

We spend very much time in this hotel during this summer. And what can I say.... They just have famous name and nice beach in Cannes, and that's all.... First when we arrive we need to wait very long in reception and sometimes staff they leave in front of you and they say nothing. If you need something during your stay, for ex. towels or shower gel, you will wait so long... almost one hour. Its not normal in 5 star hotel. We met just two nice person - Rafael and very nice blond girl one time, just I don't remember her name, sorry. Thanks for them. Breakfast its not good. If you will decide to spend time in Beach bar in the evening, you need to know that you will wait your drink for 30-40minutes and cocktails its not super. During the day you can spend nice time in the beach, staff is very nice and helpful. And food for lunch is very good in beach bar and in the hotel restaurant too. So we will come there again just to spend day by the beach in summer, but I'm not sure that we will stay in the hotel for the night.

Greetings My better half and I ….went on a vacation in Cannes France Riviera and we stay in the Martinez hotel .we stay there between the dates 28.9.12-3.10.12 and we were amazed at the quality of the hotel. The hotel strict about the highest comfortable in the room with the nice room service. The dining room organized a wonderful, the food was excellent and the hotel staff was very polite and very pleasant. The hotel location is very convenient and accessible to anywhere you want to go. The French Riviera- Cote d'Azur is full of Attractions, Views, Prestige and great Sites. We strongly recommend to spend more than a week and of course with appropriate budget.

Spent the day at this hotel's beach club early October. Be prepared to pay big bucks for the pleasure of swimming and dining here and you'll have a great time. Staff are extremely professional - on arrival my credit card kept being rejected, which was quite embarassing for me, but the young lady at no time suggested it was my fault and was insistent that we take up our sunbeds and she would sort it out. It transpired that she had inadvertantly punched in the wrong code number and she was most apologetic. Sun-beds and towels all in good condition, beach staff friendly and efficient. We had reserved lunch at 2pm (having reserved the sun-beds for the morning session only). Had a drink at the bar while waiting for a table to become available. Even though the place was absolutely packed, service was smooth. Food was beautifully presented and delicious. My teen daughter had the "lipstick" promotion dessert which was stunning and tasty. A real luxurious day's treat.
